What are you drinking now?

They make very good beers. They are expensive and not a good value, but when you drink it, swill is the last word that comes to mind.

They make a Winter holiday ale with Jolly Pumpkin and Stone that is almost worth $10 a pint unless you can make your own.

 

Central Waters' Mudpuppy Porter

 

I have one of the old bottles with the crook neck, no pics at this time though

 

Actually i think i looked at one (i think)on sale for 4.99 but skipped it and got the imperial brown.I should have known better and just got them both anyways.A winter ale didnt sound appealing at the time i guess,ill have to pick that one up while its still 5 bucks,i bet its aged a few yrs also.
Yeah with the camels on it? I just looked it up.Thats the one,guess i may pick a few up.

 

Sah'Tea tonight! Every pay day I buy one. Definitely in my top 2 beers. So damn delicious!

 

Buy at least two @ $5 each. It's a unique brew, but you have to be a malt/spice/herb beer drinker to enjoy it. It's not a hoppy beer.

Save it until it gets chilly outside. I recall Jolly provides the chestnuts, Stone provides the white sage and I can't remember what Nogne contributed. Stone brewed it last year, but they rotate every year.

I remember the flavor of cardamom too with notes of roasty cola. I've only tasted one beer similar to it, but they don't make it anymore.

 

Retired like the Shati (juniper) which was great. Ill buy em up.I think a good rainy day is a good excuse for a winter ale, Im pretty confident nobody around here has bought them even on sale.

 

I hope you like it.

I looked at my notes and the beer that is most similar to the Nogne/Jolly/Stone beer that I've tried is Santas Little Helper by Mikkeller which has a stronger cardamom / roasty cola note. Mikkeller makes it every year, but the recipe is different every year. I think it was a 2010 Santas Little Helper.

The juniper in the Nogne/Stone/Jolly beer wasn't obvious.

I remember buying one pint, drinking it and wishing I had bought more.

 

Lagunitas hop stoopid

 

Brett Sour......coming into it's own really well (9 months).

 

Pabst blue ribbon. But I'm honest about it.

 

Lucky Bucket IPA

 

Victory Hop Wallop. Damn good beer:rockin:

 

Nothing wrong with a little pbr (known as gatorade to many skiers)

had a few traditional saisons tonight, campfire is burning low, just switched gears to a big whiskey stout (9.3%)

 

Jeg elsker Nøgne Ø!

 

Homebrewed 120 schilling scottish ale. Hits the spot and strong at 9.3%

 

Now onward to my belgian strong ale!!

 

Homebrewd rustic roggenbier. Caught an infection and I could not bier happier.

 

Decisions, decisions?!?!? Getting tonight's line up ready!

 

Nice selection!

 

Just got back from a bar special event. Had Russian River Pliny the Elder, Blind Pig, Consecration, Redemption, Sanctification, Supplication, Damnation, and one for the road with DC Brau's The Corruption. First Russian River beers I've had. Very impressive. Don't think Pliny is worth the hype, but their sours absolutely are.

 

Im mashing for starter and drinking amber ale.. found my zen

 

homebrew imperial rye saison... just keeps getting better and better in the bottle.

 

Im mashing for starter and drinking amber ale.. found my zen

 

Bomber of Mikkeller Barrel Aged "Texas Ranger" Chipotle Porter - tasty

Had their imperial porter not too long ago, also excellent.

 

Drinking a homebrew'd IPA made with Nugget, Columbus, and Summit.

 

Russian River and DC Brau at the same bar, sounds like a sweet event!

 

DC Brau in a DC beer bar is to be expected. RR is another story (and if I undserstand correctly all grey market in this case). They were out of both Pliny and Supplication 30 or so mins after opening. Glad I got there early.

 

Harpoon's UFO White pool side...IMO the best of all the UFO's

 

Sour cherry ale that had Supplication dregs added and aged for 6 months. Pulled from my newly hooked up keg setup!

 

My pale mild based loosely on NB AK47 palemild. Good stuff.

 

What a great 2 days for beer. A new employee arrived from Minnesota and brought me 2 growlers from a brewery in OK, then my BOTM shipment arrived and another employee just relocated from San Diego and brought me $300 worth of San Diego beers not available here. FWIW I pay generously when out of towners bring me beer since I live in beer hell.

I just finished the growler of American wheat from OK, and a Skull Splitter from the BOTM, next up is something from San Diego-maybe a Mo Betta Bretta or a Mission Amber. The choosing is killing me.

 

Oliver Draft Punk on cask

 

Now on to REAL hefe's.....love this stuff

 

Which BOTM do you get skull splitter from?

As for me, drinking a Pliny the Elder....in NY.

 

Troegs Hopback Amber...

 

Triple carmelite I made!!! Ohh so tasty!

 

Had a Coffee Bender earlier and working on Dragon's Milk at the moment

 

I enjoyed O'Fallon's Weach early today. This evening was La Chouffe.
